The hand of the city covers the sky

Shi Pan took out the cigarette case, shook out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. After lighting it, he handed it to Shi Haodong and said, "Brother, I have a suggestion, see if it works."

Shi Haodong took the cigarette, put it in his mouth, and said, "Say it."

Shi Pan said: "I was thinking that we are going to fight against the Qingshan Gang. It is inconvenient not to have a car. If you always borrow a car from Brother Bin and the others, it is always not as convenient as owning a car. Why don't we buy a few vans?"

Shi Haodong hadn't noticed this problem before, but when he heard what he said, he thought about it seriously, and what Shi Pan said was very reasonable, if he had a few cars, it would be convenient for him to do anything.

After doing the math, I still have more than 14 yuan in my hand. It costs about 25 yuan to buy a van, and it costs about 3 yuan to complete a set of procedures. After buying two, I still have more than 8 yuan left. , as working capital is enough.

Nodding his head, he said, "Well, it's inconvenient without a car. Let's buy two first. I'll go to the bank to withdraw money tomorrow, and I'll leave it to you and Dazhi to handle it."

Shi Pan said: "Aren't there more than ten people at Zhou Dazhi's side? Will two cars not be enough?"

Shi Haodong said: "There were originally twelve people at Zhou Dazhi's side, and Xiaodao was sent by me to carry out a secret mission. We don't have much money left, and we should barely be able to sit in two cars. Let's buy two first. Bar."

Shi Pan wondered: "Brother, don't you still have 26 left? Why is it not enough?"

Shi Haodong glanced at Shi Pan and said, "I left 1 yuan for you and Shi Fei, 14 yuan for Xiaodao, and only [-] yuan left, and I have to leave a sum of money for turnover. "

Shi Pan was dissatisfied and said: "Brother, you are alienating us now, what do we three brothers share between you and me? Let's buy another one, anyway, I also want to drive the whole car, seeing other people driving is very envious."

Shi Haodong thought for a while and felt that what Shi Pan said was right. Zhou Dazhi needed two tickets, and they had a car here, so he said immediately: "Well, I will give you the money tomorrow. After buying the car, You go to Lantianba and learn how to drive from Zhou Dazhi."

Lantianba is relatively remote, and there are no traffic policemen going there to check, so Shipan just went there to learn how to drive.

Early the next morning, Shi Haodong went to the bank to withdraw 10 yuan, and then called Zhou Dazhi, asking Zhou Dazhi to ask two people who could drive to come together.

Hearing Shi Haodong's order, Zhou Dazhi led the two of them to the Sanmao Internet Cafe with some doubts, and when he learned that Shi Haodong was going to provide them with a car, he almost jumped up for joy, and even Shi Fei was also in high spirits, and began to complain Shi Pan had a car to drive, but he didn't.

Shi Haodong comforted Shi Fei a few words, and promised to buy a better car for Shi Fei in the future, and Shi Pan would not be there, so he calmed down Shi Fei.

Afterwards, Shi Haodong asked Shi Pan and Zhou Dazhi to buy a car, and after buying it, they drove the car to Lantianba directly, instead of going back to Sanmao Internet Cafe.

Shi Haodong did this with consideration. Now that the turmoil in the Guhao casino has not subsided, if the Qingshan gang sees that he bought three more vans for no reason, how can they not think that he did it?

After Shi Pan and Zhou Dazhi took people away, Shi Haodong went out to the Sanmao Internet Cafe to look for a house. After all, the place where he lived before was too narrow and dilapidated, and he had some spare money, so there was no reason to treat him badly.

After searching all afternoon, I found a house with three bedrooms and one living room on Hebin Road next to Victory Street.

Not long after the house was renovated, the owner went out of town for business reasons, and the house became vacant.

The environment here is also quite good. Standing on the balcony, you can have a panoramic view of the riverside park opposite. It is even more refreshing in the early morning.

The only fly in the ointment is that the rent is relatively expensive. The annual rent costs a full 1 yuan. This is a bit of a burden for Shi Haodong who has just started, but he paid the rent without any hesitation and rented this place. House.

Money is hard to buy. Since he has his eyes on this house, he will rent it no matter how expensive it is. In addition, he does not believe that he will stop at the current situation.

At that time, Haodong could only climb upwards, and there was absolutely no reason to retreat. Tomorrow would be better, even this house was only temporary.

The next day, he and Shi Fei moved to their new home. Fortunately, they didn't have many things, so they could take a taxi, which saved a lot of trouble.

The next step is to wait for Liu Xu's father to arrive.

Shi Haodong remembered Shi Pan's words, if Liu Xu's father insisted on closing down the Internet cafe, what would he do?

In fact, he doesn't have a diploma, let alone know any skills, and if he is capable, he can only do hard work. Does he want to go back to the construction site to work, just to see the face of the contractor?

"If you beat me to death, I won't go back to the construction site again!" Shi Haodong secretly swore that only 800 yuan was paid for a month of hard work on the construction site, and he would never allow himself to go back.

For the next two days, Shi Haodong went to the Internet cafe to replace Shi Fei during the day, and went back to the residence to rest at night, and took time to buy a suit.

Finally came the day when Liu Xu's father came back, Shi Haodong got up early in the morning, washed up, changed into a suit, leaned on the balcony to smoke, and waited for Liu Xu's call.

The cigarettes were wiped out, and before Liu Xu called, Shi Haodong couldn't help but picked up the phone, dialed Liu Xu's number, and Liu Xu's sweet voice came over: "Hey, Shi Haodong, wait Call again, I'm at the airport now."

Shi Haodong knew that Liu Xu's father must have arrived, so he hung up the phone and waited patiently.

An hour later, the phone rang, and when I picked it up, it was Liu Xu who pressed the answer button and said, "Hey, Miss Liu, did your father promise to see me?"

"En! You come to the old duck soup restaurant where we ate last time."

Shi Haodong took a taxi and drove straight to the Laoya Soup shop. When he was about to arrive, he saw Liu Xu standing on the side of the road from afar.

She is wearing a snow-white skirt today, which makes her look as beautiful as Snow White.

Shi Haodong couldn't help a ripple in his heart.

Then he paid the fare, got out of the car, waved his hand and said, "Miss Liu, I'm here!"

Liu Xu turned her head and saw that Shi Haodong was wearing a black suit, making him even more handsome and upright. She smiled slightly and said, "You look good in a suit!"

Shi Haodong said with some embarrassment: "I want to see my uncle, so I should dress more formally, Miss Liu, stop making fun of me!"

Liu Xu blushed when she heard this, and said, "Let's go in!"

Shi Haodong realized that there was a slip of the tongue in his previous words, see uncle?Isn't that meeting the parents?Quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that."

Liu Xu walked in front and said, "I know, by the way, Shi Haodong, I have always wanted to ask you a question."

Shi Haodong said: "Miss Liu, please tell me."

Liu Xu paused for a long time, then said, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Shi Haodong smiled and said: "A poor boy like me who came from the countryside, how can he be qualified to find a girlfriend? I plan to go back to the countryside to marry a white and fat wife and have a son after I earn money."

Liu Xu's neck was red, and she said angrily, "I'm telling you the truth, who is joking with you?"

Shi Haodong smiled and said, "I'm also telling the truth, I plan to save enough money to go back to the countryside and marry a wife!"

Liu Xu coquettishly said: "You have no serious words, so I won't talk to you!"

During the conversation, the two had already walked to the door of the Laoya Soup shop, and Uncle Wang greeted him with a smile: "Young man is here."

Shi Haodong said politely: "Uncle Wang, long time no see!"

Uncle Wang smiled and nodded.

Shi Haodong followed Liu Xu to the second floor, went outside a box, opened the door of the box, and saw a man and a woman in their fifties sitting inside. The man was wearing a pair of glasses, giving off a very intelligent feeling. , the woman is kind and kind, making people feel like they want to get close to her as soon as they see her.

Shi Haodong knew that these were Liu Xu's parents, he bowed respectfully, and said, "Hello, Uncle, Auntie."

Liu Xu looked at Shi Haodong and said, "You are Shi Haodong?"

Shi Haodong said: "Yes, uncle!"

Liu Shiyuan smiled and said, "Young man is very polite, come in and sit down, don't be so reserved."

Shi Haodong smiled and went in and sat down.

Liu Shiyuan waited for Shi Haodong to sit down, and said: "Let's eat first, and we'll talk later." He said to the waiter at the door of the box: "The waiter will serve us food, and two bottles of wine!" Then he said to Shi Haodong : "I can drink."

Shi Haodong nodded and said: "You can drink, but not much."

Mrs. Liu scolded Liu Shiyuan with a smile: "You're getting better now, and you want to drink again? Don't lead this young man down."

Liu Shiyuan smiled and said, "Don't you know me yet? Even if the sky falls, the cigarettes and alcohol can't be stopped."

Liu Xu sneered, glanced at Shi Haodong, and said, "Dad, your tone of voice really resembles someone."

Liu Xu wondered: "A certain person?" Immediately she realized it, looked at Shi Haodong, and said with a smile: "Young man, so we are still in the same league."

Shi Haodong smiled slightly.

Liu Shiyuan laughed loudly, at this time two waiters pushed the door in, put down the dishes and wine, and walked out.

Liu Shiyuan opened the wine bottle, poured a glass of wine for Shi Haodong, and said, "Let's have a drink first."

Shi Haodong took the wine glass, respected Liu Shiyuan and said, "Uncle, I respect you."

Liu Shiyuan smiled and said: "Okay, okay!" He drank the wine in one gulp, very bold, as expected, he is a wine drinker.

After the two had a drink, Mrs. Liu persuaded: "Drinking on an empty stomach hurts your stomach. You should eat something before drinking."

Liu Shiyuan smiled and said: "Yes, yes! Eat first, eat first!"

It was already an hour after the meal was finished, during which time the bottle of white wine had already been drunk, Shi Haodong and Liu Shiyuan's faces were slightly flushed.

Liu Shiyuan was about to open another bottle, but was stopped by Mrs. Liu, who laughed and said: "I almost forgot, we still have business to talk about, let's drink another day, drink another day!" Immediately he said to Shi Haodong: "Xiaodong , how about going out for a walk with uncle?"

Shi Haodong stood up and said, "Okay, uncle, I will help you." He reached out to help Liu Shiyuan.

Liu Shiyuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, I'm not drunk yet."
